Imagine being a Ukrainian refugee in Montreal and hearing that racket.
It might not be so loud in the city due to different acoustic dynamics, but on the south shore it is crazy loud. I live 4.5km from the site, and when the fireworks go off it’s so loud the dishes in the kitchen sometimes rattle. The cats run under the bed. The TV volume gets turned up to compensate. It literally sounds like an artillery barrage happening close by.
@Blork My apartment is near the UdeM on the north side of the mountain and I hear them clearly when the wind is blowing right. Unfortunately, I’m not high up enough to actually see them.
